Now there is active censorship on this board. You have become what you claim to protest against.
There are trolls on every board, I don't think it changes the board or movement too much to remove something like "you all suck, I hate you"
Sadly a civil society requires a few traffic rules since there are folks who can't seem to defer to others--at intersections--or in controlling speed... or just being kind.
Um, you do realize your speech isn't protected here, or on any website other than your own, right?
This site belongs to OWS/the company it's using as a hosting service (unless it's self hosted, of course...is it?). It's OWS' house, OWS' rules. They can do what they want. If you dislike this, feel free to start your own site. OWS will have no authority censor you there.
This is part of the greater problem of people misunderstanding free speech rights. If OWS decided to setup shop on say, my front lawn, I'd be fully within my rights to kick them off my lawn. They would be allowed to setup on the street right next to my house(provided they do so within local traffic ordinance), as that's public property.
Every forum I've ever participated in was moderated to some degree.
I tried to post on Michelle Malkin's blog once and I couldn't even get an account.
When you post on biggovernment.com if you disagree with them, all the regulars come & downvote your posts so they become invisible.
Damn censorship!
There is no censorship here.
Exactly. Yesterday I saw a whole thread disappear. I suspect it was because it was about emails found that shows that this "movement" has been in the making for over a year. This wasn't a spontaneous grassroots event. It was calculated.
Show us sincerely how you will support and defend the constitution and justify your support for free speech. Strengthen your complaint with something tangible.
same with the leaders of OWS having $260k in the bank and looking to rent an apartment, they already have a cfo...hmmm...what does that sound like?
